Memorial of Gabriel and Gustava Kielland

Gabriel and Gustava Kielland have their own memorial at the vicarage on Finnøy. Gabriel was the minister of Hesby parish from 1824 to 1837. Gustava, as the wife of the minister, served an important role in the Finnøy society. The pair played an important role in the growth of Norwegian missionary organisations, and Gustava is considered the «mother of religious woman's clubs». Gustava wrote the Christmas carol «O' jul med din glede» (Oh, happy Christmas)
